What's the general advice on calling System.exit() inside an operator, vs throwing an exception and having the execution environment tear down the pipeline. Throwing the exception seems cleaner but it does appear that Flink might do an orderly shutdown with System.exit(). Will the close() methods be called, file handles closed etc?
